Hi, I recently installed FreeBSD in an attempt to get away from DOS/Windows and learn something new (UNIX). I'm having trouble using my PPP account though. I followed the steps in the FreeBSD Handbook to configure the right files (/etc/ppp/ppp.conf, /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/host.conf, and /etc/hosts) correctly for a PPP account that assigns variable IP addresses, and I can connect fine (I tried connecting both with the script in ppp.conf and manually by using the term command and dialing my ISP), but after I connect nothing seems to work. I try FTPing to something and it says 'Host Unknown' or I try pinging something and it says 'No route to host', etc. I've already looked through the FAQ and Handbook and fiddled with my configuration files a lot, but I still can't get it to work. Any help would be appreciated. (It DID work fine, BTW, when I used the installation disk to install FreeBSD over FTP.) -Tom
